AA International

AA International Ltd is a private company dedicated to providing effective and timely agricultural advice and rural assessments for the better understanding and promotion of food security in rural communities. AA International Ltd was created in 2005 by our Director, Dr Ian Robinson. It was formed as a University of Wales spin-out company, utilising the knowledge and experience of Ian and other consultants, from Bangor University ; Aberystwyth University and Dulas Ltd. Our staff and associates have a broad range of global experience and skills that lend themselves to the design, management and appraisal of a diversity of agricultural / food security projects and programmes in developing countries: Since 1994, our director has led or been the senior agronomist in 60 UN Crop and Food Supply Assessment Missions (CFSAMs) across the world and has participated as the senior agronomist in a further 10 UN missions. Much of our recent work has also involved the development of Pictorial Evaluation Tools (PET manuals) for use in crop assessment at harvest time as well as the livestock condition scoring of East African livestock. The field manuals are now being used by extension staff in Ethiopia, South Sudan (produced in conjunction with the CAZS-NR), Somalia and Sudan.
